Bleeding it properly requires it to spin over at normal cranking speed. Normally one would bleed air before the injection pump..since you have a electric pump...this part is simple (open line into a bucket with the pump on works) then reconnect the line and if still using the oem filter just crack the bleed screw there. Let it sit 15 min crack it again with the pumps on. Then I usually bleed the fuel line that feeds the pump right at the pump... again pumps on, crack the line, wait for it to spray all fuel, and yr golden.

I then will crack injectors #1,3,6 one turn or so of the nut, and this is where you need to crank the engine. Spin it tell no air comes out, tighten the injectors *17mm and try to start.

repeat if required...but usually doing three will get it lit up.

Wouldn't hurt to make sure you have oil pressure at some point before actually trying to start it. Cummisn can be slow to prime the oil pumps, so don't freak if ya do not have immediate pressure when cranking. But when it starts glue yr eye to the gauge tell it registers.

Are you a prepper? "No, whats a prepper? I am just a mildly OCD farmer"

I didn't realize how messy I had gotten the truck and the shop. Yesterday, I spent 11 hours in there cleaning up everything. Didn't get to all the shelves, but washed the truck. put things up. Filled up two large trash cans with stuff, moved out hundreds of pounds of scrap steel, and scrubbed the floors.

Now I am ready to get in and all over this truck without swimming in oils and fuel puddles

Nah no real story... I finished the last blade, went to leave the shop and noticed one lawn chair engulfed in flames. I punted it out the open door and went and mowed. My wife put "1 lawn chair" on the shopping list because she thinks she's funny LoL
